Lander concept Mars MetNet



artist s rendering of metnet impactor entering martian atmosphere. lower module: inflatable heat shield; upper module: 1.8 m inflatable decelerator


each metnet lander, or impactor probe, use inflatable entry , descent system instead of rigid heat shields , parachutes earlier semi-hard landing devices have used. way ratio of payload mass overall mass optimized, , more mass , volume resources spared science payload. metnet lander s atmospheric descent process can partitioned 2 phases: primary aerodynamic or inflatable braking unit deceleration phase, , secondary aerodynamic or additional inflatable braking unit deceleration phase. probes have final landing speed of 44.6 57.6 m/s. operational lifetime of lander on martian surface 7 years.
